I've heard that's never a good thing to do, they'll roll behind your eyes and you're gonna have one heck of a time trying to get them out. It's infection written all over it. Bad idea.

I just answered this for another Asker...

It depends on the material that your 'soft CL' is made of, and whether your eye care prof. fitted you with lenses that you can sleep in...

Generally:
There are new materials (silicon hydrogels... with a high Dk/t values) that will pass enough oxygen to the eye while you're sleeping... up to 29 nights!!!

However, if you decide to wear these to sleep, you must be fitted with them by your eye care prof. and then have them monitor your eyes to see if your eyes are coping with the reduced oxygen while sleeping, and whether your cornea will swell as a result of having a contact lens in.

There is also increase risk of infection, increase risk of CL deposits, reduced comfort... etc.... so..

If you don't know what type of material your CL's are.. then DO NOT wear them to sleep.

Make an appointment with your ECProf. Good luck

it's not reccommended, that's for sure. there's many health risks. but mostly your eyes will be really irritated/hurt in the morning/for the next day. it's best to take them out every night, although forgetting occasionally isn't a big deal.

It's not okay to sleep with them in, if that's what you mean. If you do that, you could risk going blind.

I have cronic dry eye and i'm not blind you can but your eyes may get so dry you can't take them out.

Nah, take them out at night.
Or else when you wake up in the morning it might hurt like hell to take them out.

No! Gross.

only if you keep them moist with vag juice
